Resource

Resources are special commodities found in limited quantities on the map. In Civilization VI, when a resource is worked (or there's production), it provides bonuses for your empire. To work a resource you need to either construct a specific improvement with a builder (on land) or expending a Fishing Boats (see Tile Improvements). Bonuses vary from increased yield (production, food, etc.) to a number of units of Iron, Uranium, Gold or some other strategic or luxury resources necessary for producing specific units and buildings, usually as well as for providing more happiness to your Citizens.
